The correct answer is:
for and else where
Electric field due to given potentials is
for . Here is proportional to , so charge distribution is continuous for
for . Here, is constant.
So, using the Poisson’s equation , we get .
The source is an infinity large non-conducting thick plate.
Hence, consider a cylindrical Gaussian surface:
Applying Gauss's law for
for .
